thirty . Thirty-two thousand soldiers , exclusive of the thousand sent by the king of Maachah , are mentioned in the parallel passage . 2 Samuel 10 . 6 , but of chariots or cavalry there is no mention; and the number of chariots stated here is prodigious , and beyond all credibility. But as the word raichev denotes not only a chariot , but a rider (see Isaiah 21 . 7) , it ought most probably to be rendered here , in a collective sense , cavalry; and then the number of troops will exactly agree with the passage in Samuel. It is probable that they were a kind of auxiliary troops who were usually mounted on horses , or in chariots , but who occasionally served as foot-soldiers.

seven thousand . In the parallel passage , "the men of seven hundred chariots;" which difference probably arose from mistaking ן , noon final , which stands for 700 , for ז , zayin , with a dot above , which denotes 7 ,000 , or vice versa . the great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other.
footmen . If these troops were as we have suppose , a kind of dismounted cavalry , the terms footmen and horsemen might be indifferently applied to them. 2 Samuel 10 . 18 , horsemen
